I don't know what the actual gold is worth, but I recently had one made and fitted and the whole procedure cost a pricey AUS $1350.
If you have pain due to the broken crown, you can use Toofypegs. It works as temporary repair kit to replace lost fillings and loose crowns. For emergency use only, you have to consult your dentist immediately. Depending on the damage he will let you know if the he can replace the broken crown or you may need the new one.
The value of a gold tooth even if it is 50 years old depends on the value of gold at the time. This changes often.
depends on the reason the crown had to be taken off if it was for caries the crown should be replaced if it happened just because the pulp started hurting but with no caries involved he might be able to glue the crown with temporary glue preform the root canal and then glue it again permanently -though he will have to add a `core` to the tooth too.
if the crown is tight, be sure to keep the exposed tooth clean by daily brushing and flossing. its probably the root you are seeing and not the top of the tooth as it is reduced to a "peg" during crown preparation. Absolutely not, the whole idea of a crown is to make it look like a new tooth. It should look natural and nothing should show between the crown and the gum. The tooth that was prepared for crowing oviously had problems. Discoloration is common for teeth, especially around areas of decay. What your seeing is probally root structure. A common problem with crowning a tooth is the lab technician makes a crown that is too "bulky" at the tissue area, this in return causes "blanching" of the tissue. When blanching occurs the blood supply is blocked to the tissue area around the tooth, which will cause the tissue to die and recede away from that area. you can probally see the crown where it meets the tooth and think it is not covered but the area that was ground down is covered. If the area is in the front of the mouth you might want to refer to your doctor about a new or different approach.
The crown may not be usable after falling out. Especially if it's old, you may have to have the margins of your tooth refined, meaning the crown would need to be remade.
When you visit a dentist for your crown or bridge, your dentist will "prepare" - remove your old crown, remove cavities of your tooth, etc. Then your dentist will take an impression of your "prepared" tooth and send it to a dental lab. The dental lab will then make your crown or bridge to replace your "prepared" tooth. Depending on the lab, your crown can be very good or not so good. When your dental crown crackles it is because of your crown is not prepared well. For more information about Dental crown visit www.identallab.com
The crown is a standard mark, meaning the gold conforms to one of the gold standards. K stands for carat. It is a unit for purity of gold. 22K indicates that the ring is 91.7% gold and 8.3% other metals.
No.
2 bob or 1/2 a crown in old money
This is a gold coin from Henry VIII first coinage and features Henry and Catherine of Aragon both crowned. This particular Crown was worth 5 Shillings in its day, but the Crown had a variable value back in the good old days. These were a "hammered" coin and the purity of the gold is questionable. An English 1526 (Henry VIII first coinage) Crown of the Double-Rose (crowned), depending heavily on condition, may fetch anything from £500 to £1,100 GBP.
No. A crown in British coinage was worth 60 old pence, or 5 shillings, or 1/4 of a pound.
Several things can cause pain under a crown. First, how old is the crown. If it was just placed; it could be something simple, like the bite being high and the pressure from biting down eventually irritates the tissues and the tooth starts to throb. If it is an older crown, likely there is decay on the tooth under the crown. If the decay has traveled into the nerve, it is possible the nerve has been damaged and needs endodontic treatment. Usually, the symptoms for this are pain to hot & cold temperatures which linger.
